Just realized that somebody on the stream said he was one of the silhouettes. Can't believe Raiden works at NRS.

Does DS seem reasonably on the level, or is he preorder character broken and I'll get sneered out of the room for using him. I ask for the sake of my sensitive babyman feelings.

I thought this too until they did the Darkseid/Cheetah matchup. He has some powerful poo poo but faster characters will be able to get the drop on him. Darkseid has teleports and and a great beam attack but no real rushdown or very fast responses so it could be evened out.

I'm stoked to get my hands on him in two weeks. Also like the toxx avatar - that's probably as dignified as it's going to get.

Having played many sets back in the day against the best spec ops Cassie player in the world in mkx(spec ops cassie being the master of that exact style of setup), I can tell you that dudes mixup is not that good. Easily backdashed, injustice has actual invincible on wakeup moves unlike MKX. One of the big parts of why it worked so well in MKX is there was no real invincibility on everything, it was always armour, which means the multiple hits would always wreck it.

You can still bait out reversals and poo poo but it just makes the threat quite a bit less just because its possible even to begin with.

*ed*

And for those not in the more competitive side of things, Punk, the current top sf5 player was ballying about how he can body all NRS players for free, including sonic fox.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9wR_jtUg0A

Someone took him up on it, and Punk got 10-0'ed in a first to 10 so that's always fun.

At least it wasn't 13-0 in a first to 10, as that is possible in nrs games :shobon:

It's almost like different fighting games have different mechanics behind them and getting into sneering superiority contests over who likes to play what is completely asinine.

Yeah

But its never going to stop. Gonna be extra bad soon with SF5 in kinda a series low point due to a variety of reasons, and Inj2 rising as its very mechanically solid and will reward street fighter styled fundamentals more than street fighter 5 does right now, which is kinda sad :(

I kind of wanted to watch it just to see how a very skilled player at another game handled this one and how well their preconceptions could translate, but I got as far as "I'M NOT HERE TO HAVE FUN" before I rolled my eyes and closed it.

Like you know there's such a thing as friendly competition, right? Not everything has to be some vital test of your self worth, least of all this. Just have fun with it, for God's sake.

I'm not so pathetically insecure as to feel compelled to insult and demean someone else unprovoked, least of all over a meaningless leisure activity, nor do I see it as an admirable or entertaining trait in others. It's especially hard to take seriously when

Judging by the sentiment here I should think I would be lauded for it. As you like though, clearly I'm in the minority on this and I won't say anything further. He may work his "brand" to his heart's content.

SFV at a low point as Injustice2, Tekken 7, and Guilty Gear Rev2 all drop is especially funny. I can't wait to have like 3 fighting games on rotation once I'm done with Prey and also maybe get better with Tekken.

As boring as I think Red Hood or Enchantress could be for DLC at least it isn't on the level of "backround characters, Colin and Ed" as your game's expansion slots

Maybe I just don't know him well enough and I rushed to judgment. If that's true then I apologize. And you're right that mocking his voice was petty of me and wrong - a defensive reaction on my part that does me no credit. The whole lack of sportsmanship thing is a personal pet peeve of mine and I'm sensitive to it. I feel like the insults just don't add to the fun and I don't see why people find it entertaining. Maybe I'm just soft.

Edit: I am extremely excited for Tekken 7 and look forward to dusting off my stick for it. Hopefully SFV can pull itself out of whatever slump you all say it's in - don't play it so I wouldn't know.

I'm not as down on SF V as other people on this forum (although I barely watch it and I haven't played it in over a year so maybe I am), but I feel like short of completely gutting it and re-releasing it (which they specifically said they're never going to do) there's nothing they can do to fix it.

More and more people at my weekly are picking up Xrd, and I'm hoping that people will start to play Injustce and Tekken when they come out too.

Ya I'm just pointing out where your goal is to basically make the game as unfun as possible for your opponent it's not unlikely that a few words of discouragement are going to eek out in one form or another. Unless that game is sitting around drunk mashing buttons with your best pals, but seriously, even then expect some poo poo to fly.

Trash talk like that is all in good fun for competitive games in general. Probably for comparative anything. It gets people into the spirit more and makes them hungrier to beat you. You get a better fight out of dungeons who wants to beat you specifically than you do someone who just liked the friendly competition.

I don't agree with you. You don't need to be an rear end to someone to inspire them to do better and try harder - if anything it will more often than not serve to drive people away and discourage them, in my experience. People can act like that if they want, but I'll have no part of it personally.
